Major League Baseball great Pete Rose is unimpressed by the looming prospect of seeing his all-time hits record surpassed by Miami Marlins outfielder Ichiro Suzuki. Suzuki stands just one hit behind Rose's major-league record of 4,256 hits, a pursuit of history that is being followed avidly in his native Japan. Rose however is adamant that the fact that 1,278 of the hits were accumulated in Japan places an asterisk against the total.
